* '''Exploited''': ???Unbeknownst to Dirk, there was PermanentlyMissableContent in the former of a [[{{Macguffin}} golden trinket]] in the last town the party was in before they went to infiltrate the stronghold. In a game where there are SaveGameLimits in the form of "only one save allowed per playthrough", using this Ominous Save Point meant the trinket could no longer be retrieved and thus the player cannot gain the GoldenEnding in this playthrough.

** Dirk's rescue attempt has just failed -- badly. [[RetiredBadass Obsidian]] was just killed trying to ensure the others escaped -- a SenselessSacrifice, as they [[HopelessBossFight ran right into Lady Scarlett]]. On top of this, they learned that [[LoveableRogue Raven]] has [[TheMole been working for]] TheEmpire all along, and that Fizzy is [[MacGuffinGirl a key component]] in one of the Emperor's plans. Now Dirk has delivered her right into evil's hands, and the emperor is coming to collect... Would you like to save?
